BAG-WHEELBARROW WITH W'EIGI-IING DEVICE.

Application filed November To all whom it may concern:

Be it. known that I, HANS LANGE, a merchant and a subject of the German Emperor, and a resident of 39 Hagelsbergerstrasse, in the city of Berlin, Kingdom of Prussia, and German Empire, have invented a certain new and useful Bag- \Vheelbarrow with IVeighing Device, of which the following is a specification.

This invention has reference to a truck or wheel barrow, particularly for bags and the like which is combined with a scale or weighing device, whereby the advantage is produced of doing away with the necessity of weighing the goods to be shipped, on a sepa rate scale, inasmuch as in my invention the weight of the bags and the like is indicated by the mere fact of loading the wheel-barrow. Vith this end in view the load, carrier of the wheel-barrow is movably arranged in the frame and is connected to a weighing device, mounted below the load carrier and on which the weight of the goods may be read off each time.

An embodiment of my invention shown by way of example on the accompanying drawing, in Figure 1 in side elevation and in Fig. 2 as seen from below.

The load support or carrier (in is movably supported on the barrow frame 7) by means of a member 0 provided with a knife edge, at the upper side of said frame and on the lower side of the same by means of a bar (l on the shorter arms of the two-armed levers f, mounted on the knife-edges c. On the point of connection of the two lever arms 7' rests one end of a pitman g, the other forked end of which it acts upon a stud on the shorter arm of a lever 70, fulcrumed at z, and the longer arm of which is connected to a Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Dec. 28, 1909.

Serial No. 401,650.

pitman rod Z. This pitman is connected to the shorter arm of a lever 11, fulcrumed at mand provided with a sliding weight 0, an adjusting device 7 and a scale tongue By means of an arresting device the weighing device can be arrested, so that the load carrier is immovably connected to the wheel barrow in transportation.

hat I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States is In a wheel-barrow the combination of a fixed truck-frame (b) a load-carrierframe (a a link with knife-edges (0) supporting and connecting the upper end of the loadcarrier-frame to the truck-frame; two twoarm levers being supported movably by the trm-k-frame and which levers are combined on their one end and support by their other diverted ends, the lower end of the load-carrier-frame; two knife-edges (6) arranged at the lower part of the truckframe and supporting the two-arm-levers (7'), an intermediating t0w-arm-lever (7c) hinged on the middle part of the truckframe; a rod (g) connecting the combined ends of the two-arm-levers to the one end of the intermediating two-arm-lever (7c) a lever n) with a sliding weight, said lever being hinged on the upper part of the truck arm; and a rod (Z) connecting the other end of the intermediating two-arm lever (7;) to the one end of the weighing lever (12).

In witness whereof I have hereunto signed my name this 29th day of October 1907, in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

HANS LANGE.
